Thanks, Wendyanne. I hoped it would be both a little creepy and amusing, so thanks for confirming that for me.

I sincerely appreciate your review. :}

Before me is another of your inventive, 'noisy' poems. LOL.

A short work of deceptive simplicity, marks an addition to your list of great works.

A simple plot well described and brief at three verses. Well chosen and appropriate with the graphics.

A good read that I enjoyed and I would have given you Six stars but I may be accused of being biased. LOL. You will receive plenty anyway.

Unlike my 'Awakening' on page one, a story with much time invested in research/writing just mouldering away un-reviewed.

I wish you all the very best. :) mel.

Effective presentation of your poem
solid use of abab rhyming
good alliteration in beneath my bed
lurk/gut - good selection of high-impact verbs to intensify the dark atmosphere of your poem
What a chilling ending, with all the speaker's family members dead, victims of the monsters

Hi Dean - where do you find all these pictures? I wont ask where you find the words for your poems - they seem to be imprinted in your DNA LOL. Always a good read and superb display - love the Nietzsche quote. You always give us value (and quality) for our money. Warm regards Dorothy xx

Exceptional

Always bizarre and fun to read. I like the warning and reference to Nietzsche. That reminds me of my warning to students who read their homework too long ... they might learn it. Terrific, as always, Dean.

Sorry, kept the sound off as you scare me enough without it anyway. Very good and makes a lot of sense along with the authors notes. Loved the rhyme and flow...and the last stanza

Thanks, Barb. That's precisely why I put the warning there, just in case. I appreciate the thoughtful review, my friend. :}

I'm beginning to love the monsters. Familiarity. 'Monsters sleep inside my head' was a great opening, but when you followed it up with 'they lie beneath my bed', 'am a bit confused. Overall, there is terror when you think of what they can do with your body. A kind of monstrosity! Good poem, great read.

Thanks, ravim, and I guess you could say for this poor tormented soul in my poem, his monsters are everywhere, LOL.

I really appreciate your review, my friend. :}

Another very good one, Dean. "We are what we eat," no pun intended. There's a lotta junk in my head...Thankfully, I'm not the junk-food-junkie of old!

Up to about mid-thirties, I didn't watch my psychological, emotional, spiritual, intellectual diet very well. Didn't really do much thinking! These days, I try to cover those four areas. Not EZ, but I've gotta try...

Thanks for sharing, Dean!

Thanks, Jenny. It's been on my mind for awhile, and needed to get out. It is what it is.

Thanks for sharing "Monster Matter" with us.
This was whimsically succinct, a kaleidoscope of horror. Your progression sets us up with a premise: (There are Monsters everywhere) than backs it up with a succession of literary delights: Descriptive verbs and adjectives. Then you hit us with a logical conclusion! "They will all come after me, before they come for you"
May God Bless you, have a Happy Thanksgiving.
